Identification of early acute lung injury at initial evaluation in an acute care setting prior to the onset of respiratory failure.
Chest. 2009; (4): 936-43
Despite being a focus of intensive investigation, acute lung injury (ALI) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. However, the current consensus definition impedes identification of patients with ALI before they require mechanical ventilation. To establish a definition of early ALI (EALI), we carried out a prospective cohort study to identify clinical predictors of progression to ALI.
